Larissa Goldston Gallery is pleased to present Iron Maiden, Orly Genger’s fourth solo exhibition with the gallery. For this exhibition the gallery will be opening a pop-up space at 530 W 24th Street. The exhibition will be on view from through June 22, 2013. Iron Maiden coincides with the May 2 opening of Red, Yellow and Blue, a monumental installation using over 1.4 million feet of rope, in New York’s Madison Square Park. In a departure from her large-scale rope installations, Iron Maiden is Genger’s first exhibition comprised solely of cast metal sculptures. This body of work continues her interest in the contrast of hard and soft materials, juxtaposing the fluid malleability of rope and wax with the rigidity and immutability of bronze, aluminum, and stainless steel. The sculptures are knotted and molded from rope and other materials in the artist’s studio then cast in a lost-wax process rendering a single unique work.
